Biogas is regarded as one of the most cost effective environmental technologies for production of bioenergy and abatement of greenhouse gas emissions from industrial, agricultural and municipal waste treatment.
Biogas can be utilized for supply electricity when other forms of renewable energy are unavailable; for storage of renewable electrical energy (power-to-gas); or for producing renewable fuels for transportation in the form of biomethane.

The research is focused on both simple and new innovative technologies for improving biogas production, reduction of greenhouse gases, improving the value of the digestate as fertilizer and integrating the biogas sector with that of other renewable energy sectors. The research includes:

Full scale (in Foulum)

• Anaerobic digester treating 80 tons of manure, straws and grass per day. Gas converted to electricity sold to the grid and heat used at the facility.
• Full scale pre-treatment systems for ligno-cellulosic biomass
• Facilities for demonstration of processing equipment in conjunction with industrial partners.
